<p>I'm strongly considering applying early decision to Cornell AEM, and I was does Cornell require you send all SAT scores? My guidance counselor told me while colleges ask for all of them, it doesn't mean that I have to supply all of them haha. What do you guys suggest? And is Cornell AEM the most difficult to get accepted into? Could you guys give me an idea of the stats I would need? Thank you so much!!</p>
<p>I recently did research on this. Cornell does not allow score choice. [The</a> FAQs of SATs and ACTs | Undergraduate Admissions Office](<a href=“http://blogs.cornell.edu/admissions/2011/10/19/the-faqs-of-sats-and-acts/]The”>http://blogs.cornell.edu/admissions/2011/10/19/the-faqs-of-sats-and-acts/)</p>
<p>Thanks!! See, but it says “When you send your SAT scores we ASK that you send us all of your scores, including all Subject Test scores” Haha not trying to get technical, but on the common app, they basically ask you to fill out your scores, so they wouldn’t know if you left anything out, right?</p>
<p>you also have to have your scores sent to Cornell through the College Board.
[Send</a> SAT Scores - Send SAT Results to Colleges, Universities or Scholarship Programs](<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>Send SAT Scores to Colleges - SAT Suite | College Board)
it’s definitely not all self-reported…you can imagine the issues that would create, unfortunately.</p>
<p>well for ACT just complain you don’t feel like shelling out 35 bucks or so for each ACT, and then you can “self-report” if you need to. but honestly it doesn’t really matter; just send them all your scores</p>
<p>This has been discussed many times, Posters have adamantly claimed that previous low test scores and / or multiple attempts will “look bad” and should be avoided at all costs. My experience with test scores has been that if they really like the rest of your profile, they are not looking for reasons to keep you out, but rather ways to admit you that don’t hurt their average reporting scores. Why else would they “super score”?</p>
<p>Hmm thanks guys! It’s just for me I took my SATs a bit too early. I took it again in march and score higher in every section giving me a total of 100 points higher! I actually really wanna go to Cornell now haha just confused about like what aem, cas, and ILR are lol</p>
<p>AEM has around a 10% acceptance rate; but give an idea of your interests and look up some info on potential majors so that folks here can help you better.</p>
<p>I probably am going to be an economics major with the goal of going either into business or law (but I won’t go pre-law as a major)
I know aem is good for business but difficult to get into and ILR is good for law I think? Not sure about cas
And my stats are mostly A+ and As and around a 2260 on my SAT…I dont have much background in business except getting semifinalist in a business competition and a business law class
Are these good enough for aem? Haha thanks!!</p>
<p>The economics major is in CAS. AEM is applied economics.</p>
<p>I personally prefer CAS over AEM because it’s more flexible, and I don’t like all of the science requirements in CALS.</p>
<p>You would probably want to apply to CAS or ILR. Without significant business extra-curriculars, admission to AEM is quite difficult. My suggestion for deciding is look at a sample of course descriptions from each major you are interested in and decide which appeal more to you. In CAS Econ, you are going to get a full-blown liberal arts education, which I personally loved and you’ll get flexibility to take AEM or ILR courses. I don’t know much about the specifics of ILR, but that should be fairly flexible too. </p>
<p>If your goal is law school, Econ will be harder because most classes are curved in the B-range. ILR is much easier to get an A in. Law school admissions are much simpler: high GPA + high LSAT = admission. And course rigor/major choice count much less than you’d think/hope. That said, on Econ majors on average score the highest on the LSAT (except for physics) because the Econ major emphasizes the sort of critical thinking skills used in LSAT/law school.</p>
<p>Wow thank you guys this was extremely helpful!! I am also taking AP Economics next year, so we’ll see how that goes, but I’m leaning towards AEM and CAS now. I’ve heard about how the curve hurts students, but hopefully if I work hard, I will get As because I am leaning more towards law school. And another random question…is it extremely difficult to graduate early from Cornell now? I am currently working 2 (hopefully 3) part-time jobs this summer to help my parents pay for the tuition, but…it’s tough haha. I know that NYU (Stern is another option for me) accepts many credits and early graduation is easier, but I really want to go to Cornell haha. Thanks again!!</p>
<p>I guess it depends how many AP credits you bring with you. CAS caps you at 20 credits outside the college (AEM classes would be considered out of the college). Graduating a semester early should be fairly easy; an entire year would be more difficult.</p>
<p>If you work hard in Econ classes, B+'s should be attainable, and enough A’s in other classes would make up for that in terms of GPA for law school. How attainable A’s are in Econ in my opinion depends on how strong you are in math relative to other students setting the curve.</p>
<p>I will have taken a total of 12 APs by next year, but I’m not sure how many credits they’ll accept (I get 4s and 5s but I think they only accept 5s)
My school doesn’t allow APs freshman year
Sophomore year I took AP euro
Junior year I took APUSH, psychology, composition, statistics, and bio (and other classes like debate - all As and A+s)
Senior year I’ll be taking physics, lit, calc ab, economics, and French</p>
<p>Yeah I read the requirements for graduating early from Cornell…It’s tough! Looks like a lot of work haha
And I’m not great at math, but I hope I’ll manage through a LOT of studying. Thank you so much!!</p>
